Is it normal for autologous fat breast augmentation to hurt every day for a year

After one year of autologous fat breast augmentation, there is still abnormal pain every day, which may involve infection, fat necrosis, or capsule contraction. It is necessary to seek medical examination in a timely manner. The causes of pain include incomplete survival after fat transplantation, local inflammatory reactions, or surgical complications, and targeted measures should be taken according to the specific reasons.

1. Incomplete survival after fat transplantation

Autologous fat breast augmentation is the process of transplanting one's own fat into the chest, and some of the fat may die due to insufficient blood supply, leading to pain. Fat necrosis can cause local inflammation, forming hard lumps or cysts, and prolonged non absorption can lead to persistent discomfort. It is recommended to confirm the survival of fat through ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, and if necessary, perform fat aspiration or surgical resection of necrotic tissue.

2. Local inflammatory response

After fat transplantation, the body may produce rejection reactions to the transplanted fat, leading to chronic inflammation. Inflammation can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain, which may worsen if left untreated for a long time. Symptoms can be alleviated through anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, while combined with hot compress or physical therapy to promote blood circulation and help inflammation subside.

3. Surgical Complications

During the surgical process, complications such as infection, hematoma, or capsule contracture may occur due to improper operation or poor postoperative care. Infection can cause local redness, swelling, fever, and pain, requiring the use of antibiotics for treatment. Hematoma may compress surrounding tissues, causing pain, and needs to be cleared through puncture drainage or surgery. Capsular contracture is the formation of a hard shell around fat, causing chest stiffness and pain, requiring surgical release or removal of the capsule.

4. Improper postoperative care

Failure to follow medical advice for postoperative care, such as engaging in vigorous exercise too early, not wearing appropriate underwear, or not having follow-up appointments on time, may lead to fat displacement or excessive local pressure, causing pain. It is recommended to strictly follow the doctor's guidance after surgery, wear medical shapewear, avoid strenuous activities, and undergo regular check ups. Continuous pain after one year of autologous fat breast augmentation should be taken seriously, and prompt medical attention should be sought to identify the cause and take corresponding measures. Through professional examination and treatment, pain can be effectively relieved and the condition can be avoided from worsening. Meanwhile, postoperative care and regular follow-up are key to ensuring surgical outcomes and physical health.
